Milan maintain Dovbyk interest as Man Utd emerge for Zirkzee | OneFootball

Girona striker Artem Dovbyk is still on Milan’s shortlist of transfer targets and a new round of talks were recently held, reports detail.

The Rossoneri are clearly on the hunt for a new number nine to lead their frontline following Olivier Giroud’s departure and quickly drew up a list of possible options including Bologna’s Joshua Zirkzee and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.

Sesko recently signed a new contract with the Bundesliga side and Manchester United have now emerged as contenders for Zirkzee, leaving Milan in a tough position as they look to add a new striker to Paulo Fonseca’s squad.
